"The spark of wisdom kindled by the 'divine guide', that 'hidden spark
which loves to conceal itself', turns into a large flame of cognition,
thus concluding the journey of the soul which Plotinus termed anagoge,
the ascension toward heaven, toward divinity."
Mary Ellen Waithe, Hypatia of Alexandria (book reviews), Hypatia,
Sep 22, 1995.
